Morning sex: advantages and advice

No one can judge another couple’s relationships, since every couple invents and develops their own story. And without a doubt, there are as many different stories as there are people. But everyone has the same needs. Among them, sex is one of the major ones.

Today we’re going to talk about morning sex, its advantages and advice on how to do it. What’s special about sex right after you wake up?

The spontaneity of the moment

Morning sex lacks preparation and seduction. It’s a very intimate moment with your partner.

Without a doubt one of the main characteristics of morning sex is spontaneity. At that moment nothing is planned, there’s no makeup to put on, no nice clothes to seduce someone with. Morning sex is one of the most beautiful things there could be in a relationship.

In fact, one of the reflections that everyone should apply is “carpe diem” To seize the day, or take advantage of the moment, feel the here and now, and be conscious of that unrepeatable instant when everything happens.

That’s what happens in morning sex. It’s a way to greet the new day, a spontaneous act that’s born from love and desire. Take advantage of these encounters under the morning sun and savor them as unique and unrepeatable.

Another advantage of having sex in the morning is that you’ll start the day relaxedSex calms, de-stresses, releases tension, and gives you happiness and well-being. There isn’t a better way to start your daily activities than by having some intimate time to release endorphins with your partner.

The surprise

The surprise factor can play in your favor, stimulating through touch and closeness.

If you’re normally the first one to get up in the morning, you can surprise your partner by cuddling up to them and getting them into the mood. Any little detail or fantasy that you want to try could turn them on.

You can put on your preferred music, start with a loving massage with oil, bring some strawberries to bet, etc. Surprise your partner and have fun.

For men morning sex can be simpler, since testosterone levels are higher in the morning, and they often have erections when they wake up. It’s true that in the morning the time you can dedicate to sex depends on your work hours. But you can always wake up early or get on with things quickly!

A cardio workout

Do you normally go to the gym? Is it tough for you to play sports? Well, with a session of morning sex you’ll burn calories in a much more pleasurable way. However, it depends a lot on the positions you choose and how much time you spend.

Additionally, you can compensate with a good breakfast, since you’ll surely have worked up a good appetite. Don’t you think it’s an excellent and healthy way to start your day and keep in shape?

What about in the shower?
